ASKHQ: BREEDING TIPS FROM CALLAHO

Q: What are Callaho’s top breeding tips?

A: The broodmare is the beginning and the end of any successful mating. A good dam mated to a mediocre stallion will give you a good horse. A top stallion is mostly useless on a mediocre mare. Any attempt at creating a good dam-line from scratch is not impossible but probably doomed.

A strong back is a must to connect the horse to his engine.

The future lies with blood: elegant, intelligent horses with lightning reactions and very high rideability. The fences are not going to get any bigger, but most certainly the tracks will get trickier. It’s really simple – the fastest clear round wins the class.
